Chetvergovaya (Thursday) Black Salt from Kostroma is a traditional Russian artisan salt produced according to an ancient Kostroma recipe by mixing natural rock salt with rye flour and charring the mixture in a furnace — a process preserved from pre-industrial times. The charring at high temperature transforms the mixture, creating the characteristic deep black colour (similar to activated charcoal) and a distinctly mellow, rounded flavour compared to standard table salt. The finished product has a natural, environmentally clean composition free from synthetic additives.
Thursday salt is a uniquely Russian culinary tradition dating back hundreds of years, with the name referring to the Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) ritual of preparing this salt before Easter. The charring process enriches the salt with naturally formed carbon compounds and, as the rye flour contributes calcium during the process, the finished product has an elevated calcium content compared to plain milled salt. Use as a premium artisan table salt for salting food at the table, for hard-boiled Easter eggs (the traditional use) and in cooking. 140 g jar.

What Is Thursday Black Salt
Planeta Zdorovia TŠETVERGOVAJA MUST LAUASOOL 140G is a traditional black table salt made in the old Kostroma style. People usually choose this artisan salt not simply for saltiness, but for its softer, rounder taste and distinctive character at the table. It suits those who enjoy traditional foods, unusual pantry staples, and a more nuanced seasoning for eggs, salads, vegetables, and simple home cooking.
How It Is Made
What makes Chetvergovaya black salt different is the production method. Rock salt is mixed with rye flour and then charred in a furnace according to an old recipe. During this heating process, the mixture darkens and develops its deep black colour, while the flavour becomes less sharp than standard refined table salt. The charring changes the taste profile: the salt keeps its savoury function but gains a milder, slightly roasted note. The process also forms carbon-rich compounds, which are part of what gives this Russian black salt its traditional appearance.
Composition and Character
This is not coloured salt and not a flavoured seasoning blend with artificial additives. Its dark shade comes from the furnace process, and the rye flour used in production contributes to the final mineral profile, including a higher calcium content than plain milled salt. That makes it appealing to people who value foods prepared in a more old-fashioned way, with a short ingredient list and a clear culinary identity.
How to Use It
Thursday black salt has a long place in Russian food culture and is especially associated with Holy Thursday before Easter. Today it is used both for that traditional purpose and as an everyday finishing salt. Try it on:
- Boiled eggs
- Roasted potatoes
- Cottage cheese
- Fresh tomatoes
- Open sandwiches where the flavour of the salt is easy to notice
Even though this is an artisan product, it is still salt, so it is best used in moderation. If you avoid rye or prefer to limit sodium in your menu, take that into account when choosing and serving it.

Customer Questions
Planeta Zdorovia TŠETVERGOVAJA MUST LAUASOOL derives its distinctive dark appearance from a specific artisanal production method rather than artificial dyes or added flavorings. The process involves mixing rock salt with rye flour and charring the mixture in a furnace according to an old recipe. This heating process causes the salt to darken significantly while developing a milder, slightly roasted flavor profile compared to standard refined table salt. The resulting carbon-rich compounds contribute to the traditional appearance and the softer, rounder taste that distinguishes this salt. It is not a flavored seasoning blend; the rye flour is integral to the charring process and contributes to the mineral profile, including a higher calcium content than plain milled salt. This method preserves the savory function of the salt while adding a nuanced character suitable for finishing dishes.
Planeta Zdorovia TŠETVERGOVAJA MUST LAUASOOL is best used as a finishing salt to enhance the flavor of simple, fresh dishes where its unique character can be appreciated. It pairs particularly well with boiled eggs, roasted potatoes, cottage cheese, fresh tomatoes, and open sandwiches. The salt is designed to provide a softer, less sharp salinity than standard table salt, making it ideal for everyday home cooking and traditional foods. Because this product is still a form of salt, it should be used in moderation to manage sodium intake. Additionally, since the production process involves rye flour, individuals with gluten sensitivities or those following a gluten-free diet should exercise caution, as the ingredient is part of the traditional recipe. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition and should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.
